Sorry Fellas. Mike McCoy is not the guy.

[sandiego17]

The guy played on roller skates almost his entire career. He did have potential. I'm not sure why there are still posts about him

That's because you didn't read all the posts about how he was one of TT's huge offseason mistakes, even though he got a $4MM contract, TT made a mistake. Really, can't make that kind thing up. Hence, the legend.

Why? Rivers complete one pass after that. Up by 4.

Why what? Why did it factor in the decision making? Is that what you're asking? You don't think it did?

This I can completely agree with. OIP, you do make down time at CES go by much faster.

Got it.

I actually got that part 3 months ago when the poster stopped posting about it.

Yet he still comes up

You're just as guilty of the overkill as anyone. McClain trade?

No one traded for McClain.

What. an. ass.

Certainly not, but the overkill in play:

25. We should trade a 1st and third for that stud FB McClain. Wrong season?

It was a post to show the ridiculous nature of most of the thread. Sorry if that was over anyone's head

Maybe McCoy can have a twitter poll to call each play because we know the most important thing is not to win, it's to keep the arm chair Qbs happy.

Seriously, not many of us liked that specific play calling. Because we don't like it does not make it dumb, idiotic, or lacking in strategic validation and reasoning.

It was said my opinion is in the minority, that's all I was addressing

Sure calling it idiotic and dumb and a total failure of strategy might be an extreme way to put it but basically everyone (the vast majority) are basically saying the same thing. It's the same sentiment.

The disaster avoided that we were so afraid of is maybe a pick 6 at worse. If that happened we would have the ball with 2 timeouts in better field position down 7. Decent shot at a field goal to pull with in 4.

Instead we went down 3 and were fortunate not to give up 7 with no time left to answer.

Worst case with run punt strategy we chose was worse and more likely than the worst case if we attempt to pick up a first down

McCoys decision was lose lose and has no valid strategical value. It was a mistake.

Come on now, I understand the strategy and I also understand how foolish it was and I am vindicated by the fact that it back fired and we went in to the half down by 3!

It was a bad idea and it did not work.

I bet McCoy feels vindicated that all of the non-stop pounding our running game applied to them early that wore them down late and allowed Ronnie Brown to bust off a huge game sealing TD run, even though it look like he had a refrigerator strapped to his back.

One thing wrong with your argument is the idea that McCoy wasn't trying to get a first down. We averaged 4.9 yards per rush for the game so it's not like it would be out of the question that 3 runs would get a first down. And Mathews did bust off a 7 yard gain on first down that was called back by penalty. It's not like McCoy had Rivers kneel down 3 times.
